β¦ Synopsis
A single species biofilm model is presented, and the existence of steady state solutions of this model is proved. The model which does not include detachment suggests that a steady state solution is possible if the inactivation rate is zero. It is also shown that a steady state solution corresponding to the absence of active biomass is linearly unstable provided the bulk substrate satisfies an inequality involving the observed decay rate.

We present a hydrodynamic model for semiconductors, where the energy equation is replaced by a pressure-density relationship. We prove existence of smooth solutions and a uniqueness result in the subsonic case, which is characterized by a smallness assumption on the current flowing through the devi
